What would you trade for a miracle?
Desperate to save his ailing mother, a teenage boy writes a heartfelt letter and slips it through the mail slot of an abandoned model home. He never expects an answer—let alone a bargain. One name, the letter says. Just write down someone you hate, and good fortune will follow.
At first, it feels like harmless superstition. But as the promise begins to take shape, so does the price. Because in this haunting short story by New York Times bestselling author Owen King, wishes don’t come free—and someone always pays.
The Shivers collection specializes in quiet dread, and Letter Slot is no exception.
Sometimes, the smallest decisions unlock the darkest doors.
